Daphne Minor, also known as Daphne Major's sister islet, is a small volcanic island located in the Galapagos archipelago. Though its size limits its accessibility and the scope of research, it plays a part in the ecosystem of the region. Unlike its larger counterpart, Daphne Major, which is well-known for its significant role in studies of Darwin’s finches, Daphne Minor receives less attention. The island is barren and rocky, composed mainly of volcanic tuff. Despite its small size, it still supports a variety of bird species, including some of the famous finches that have been critical in the study of evolution. Additionally, sea birds such as Nazca boobies and blue-footed boobies are known to nest there. Access to the island is restricted to scientific research, preserving its undisturbed natural state. Daphne Minor is not as prominent in tourist itineraries, but it remains an important ecological site within the Galapagos.
